Take me to Barcelona

As Barcelona sparkles with culture it resonates with history while moving and shaking with the best of them under the contemporary spotlight. This is a world class city that offers something for everyone, much relished by holidaymakers, party people and business travellers alike. Dust down those dancing clothes and get partying into the small hours!

Spain’s number one Catalan city has something for everybody. A world class city for all, Barcelona offers a party atmosphere, delicious cuisine and stunning architecture. A city of exciting contrasts, it is steeped in several thousands of years of history while efficiently satisfying a rising traffic of contemporary travellers.

Lovers of the unusual will enjoy the tourist attractions of Barcelona’s art nouveau architecture. Look out for Antoni Gaudi’s belatedly head turning ‘work in progress’ La Sagrada Familia, the skeletal Casa Batllo, the outer worldly Parc Guell and much more besides. Unrivalled in architectural magnificence, Barcelona offers an abundance of unique styles from medieval to art nouveau many of which have been declared World Heritage sites.

Barcelona can equal any European city when it comes to culture. Music venues and theatres are peppered across the city each offering their own unique style of entertainment. For jazz, classical music and composition world premieres, there is the hugely decorative Palau de la Musica Catalana. For art, the choices are plentiful too like the Fundacio Joan Miro, Picasso Museu and the flamboyantly decked Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.

Thanks to the good old low cost airlines, a weekend break to one of Europe’s top city break destinations doesn’t need to cost a fortune! A favourite haunt for stag and hen weekends, Barcelona provides an exciting alternative to the UK’s own favourites of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, London, Brighton and others! Occupying a generous chunk of the Spanish Mediterranean coastline, visitors enjoy the combination of a city break with a beach holiday.
